. 9/3o/q‘ <br /> DANE CO <br /> �� , Richard J. P elps / .64AL/9j,c.-0 <br /> is-,i��-�►;�/; County Execu ive <br /> ... , ty <br /> TO: Dane County Rezoning • pplicants P <br /> cc Phelps /` <br /> FROM: Richard J. Ph 1p s <br /> Dane County Executive / <br /> RE: Preserve Dane Campaign <br /> I have recently announced my intentions o enforce the density and development standards listed in <br /> each adopted Town Plan and the County'. adopted Farmland Preservation plan. As you proceed <br /> with your zoning petition,please become aware of the standards listed in the adopted land use plan <br /> for the Town in which you are requesting a rezoning. <br /> Specifically,I have stated the following c i'teria. <br /> 1) I will not sign into law any rezonings t at are clearly outside the density and development <br /> standards listed in the adopted town p'ans. I will only sign rezoning petitions that follow the <br /> basic standards in the county's adopte Farmland Preservation Plan and the adopted Town <br /> Plans it is based on. <br /> The intent is to limit scattered develop ent at higher densities than were agreed to by the towns <br /> in their adopted town plans and the co my in its Farmland Preservation Plan. For example,in <br /> order to protect a Town's agricultural •ase,most Town Plans allow no more than one <br /> residence per 35 acres in areas zoned -1 Agriculture Exclusive. If a Town Plan states that it <br /> will allow no more than one residence •er35 acres in areas zoned A-1 Agriculture Exclusive,I <br /> will not sign petitions that exceed that •ensity limit. <br /> 2) I will not sign rezonings that allow any new unsewered residential subdivisions.A subdivision <br /> is a division of land into five or more p:rcels. <br /> This effectively will be a moratorium o new unsewered subdivisions. It may be that someday <br /> we will find a way to organize rural resi•ential development in a way that does not damage our <br /> quality of life and force up property . s. But until we answer those basic questions I will <br /> strongly discourage,though vetoes, an, new development of scattered,unsewered <br /> subdivisions. <br /> Thank you for your cooperation. If you ha e any questions regarding these standards,please <br /> consult with your local Town officials or pe onnel at Dane County's Department of Land <br /> Regulation and Records. <br /> 210 Martin Luther King,Jr.Blvd.,City-County Bldg.,Madison,WI 53709 608/266-4114 TDD/266-9138 FAX/266-2643 <br />
